Waiting for somebody to change can be frustrating.
As a leader, friend or parent, you’ve probably shared greats ideas.
Encouraged them.
Coached.
Yet they’re still not changing, or if they are it’s far too slowly.
In our mind we wonder ‘why can’t they just do it!’
When it comes to seeing change in others, we are often incredibly impatient.
But when it comes to us, and our long road of changing life long habits.
That’s different.
We want people to be patient with us.

Thanks to all those people who are patient with me as I slowly tweak my life for the better.
And sorry to those of you whom I expect to change immediately. I’ll try and be more patient, and I love that you aren’t giving up.
I’m not sure what caused the epiphany. Maybe it was the brief moment I had sitting in crisp fresh air marveling at the lake and mountains nestled in the Swiss Alps. Perhaps it was processing time from long hours of driving. Or something I was reading, I cannot recall.
When I was a kid, before you could ‘google maps’ the entire earth, I day dreamed of exploring the vast pacific ocean and discovering some distant new island.
Last week I was out running with Jay tagging along on his bike. As I ran, a seagull became increasingly disturbed with my presence and finally started dive bombing me. We sought shelter under some trees and, once the bird was over it, we carried on.
